I wonder if anyone else has had or is having the experience I am. I am feeling so much better most days. If I think about the change, it doesn't even feel real. But most nights, I dream about my A hurting me, drinking, lying, the affair of the heart, all the real bad yucky stuff that went on for the last 10 years. I was wondering if the dreams will ever go away i.e. catch up to my daytime thinking? Any feedback will be appreciated, Lyne
((((Lyne))))...Yeppers...been there and done that and for me what happened was the thoughts and dreams and old feelings were approaching me so that I would let them go. They needed to be released and that is why they were there. It was time for me to exercise acceptance and forgiveness which again I learned are the opposites of Anger and Resentments. When I let go unconditionally the thoughts and dreams left and I experienced gratitude and joy that only the old timers use to speak of in meetings. I arrived by reaction at Martin Luther King's praise, "Free at last....Free AT LAST. THANK GOD I'M FREE AT LAST". Shook my mom right out of her socks...lol. Its time to let it go...In support. (((((hugs)))))
ps...they no longer have any value for you. You can stand without them defining you.
When I first left I had some very vivid and unpleasant dreams and not great sleep as I progressed through the steps and al-anon with some counseling, I got through it. Keep taking good care of you and digging into your program. Sending you love and support!
